P rofile The National Energy Skills
Center (NESC) is a non-profit
institution incorporated on July 15, 1997 with
the primary purpose of building the human
capital in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It has its
genesis in a Trust Deed between the Government of the Republic of
Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT) and Atlantic LNG Company Limited (now
Atlantic), to address the pressing demand for skilled welders to work on the Atlantic’s
LNG Train 1 project. It was envisaged then, as the solution to the need for a premier
training provider to lead national training initiatives.
From its first Campus at Point Fortin, the NESC (which now falls under the purview
of the Ministry of Education) currently operates 11 NESC skills campuses across the
country, offering programmes in Drilling Trades; Automotive Services Technician;
Heavy Equipment Technician; Instrumentation; Welding; Building Trades; Millwright;
Pipefitting and Fabrication as well as Air Conditioning and Refrigeration.
The NESC is both ISO Certified and ACTT registered and its procedures and methods
of training delivery are designed to produce highly-skilled persons who can quickly
assimilate into the work environment.
NESC’s Business Development Department offers customized training to assist
organizations in the development of their technical staff. Through collaboration with
the NESC and the client, training courses are designed to suit the specific needs of the
organization. We are proud of our history and our cadre of qualified trained professional
students and staff.
NESC’s Craftsman Programmes

NESC’s Fundamental Programme

individuals with the fundamentals of various skills and prior knowledge
